A non-linearized PDF can be written entirely as a stream – keeping nothing in memory.   You would simply need to find a PDF library that offers that functionality.

Hello, I'm trying to choose between poppler and libharu and I can't figure out if there is a way to use poppler to write a pdf without keeping the whole pdf document in memory.

For example if writing a set of images into a pdf, the document can become very large and not holding it into memory would be very useful.

Thank you!
